Verse 1:
    A     D   A
Silver coins that jingle jangle
   A          E
Fancy shoes that dance in time
    A    D   A
Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes
     A   E
Seemed to sing a gypsy rhyme.
    A     D    A
Yellow clover in tangled blossoms
   A      E
In a meadow silky green
     A    D   A
Where she held me to her bosom
     A     E    A
An' I was just a boy of seventeen.

     A      D    A
A gentle breeze from fragrant meadows

Stirs the darkness in my mind
      A      D   A
Oh, gentle woman, you sleep beside me
        A    E     A
And you little know who haunts my mind.
   A   D      A
Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter
   A       E
As it dances through my head
     A   D    A
While my tender wife and babies
     A  E   A
Slumber soft-ly in their bed.

And I recall a gypsy woman

And the taste of life's sweet wine.

And the taste of life's sweet wine.
